We want nothing to do with the
republican party. If the demo.
cratic party is powerless to carry
out the principles which it de-
clared in its platform in '84. we
want nothing to do with the dem

The program of Mr.. William
Malone in Virginia, or rather his
address to the Virginia voters, is
somewhat autocratic. He will
cause the same disruption in the
State as before. The colored peo-
pie in the State should demand
recognition, and not allow Mr..
Malone to use them to advance
his personal interest, nor 10 salts
fly his personal ambition to the
detriment of the great number of
colored voters in the state. We
don't know of a man, who, out
side of Hon. John M. Langston,
could better represent the people
in Congress. Mr., Langston may
perhaps be distasteful to this auto
cratic ruler, but the colored voters
of the State should decide that
fact We know the colored peo-
pie of Virginia to be intelligent
and sensible enough to do their
duty. Our debt or gratitude to
the republican party has been
paid. We owe allegiance to no
one but ourselves. We cannot
expect every thing good from the
democratic party, any more than
from the republican party. II
Mr.. Cleveland is the friend to us
that he claims he is, we want him
to manifest that friendship, by do.
ing more than what the republican
party has done. There is one
fact that cannot be disguised, and
that is, the freedom that the Ne
gro enjoyed under republican ule
Is reacting under democratic rule
to a great extent. We don't say
that the President can prevent his
party from committing these out
RACES, nor do We hold him respon,
sible for the misdoings OF his par
ty. He should. however, advise
his party to do better.

learn that it is not necessary to fix
up a plan to have Southern negroes
slaughtered. We are opposed to
any such scheme. Grant gave
Judge Bradley a life time Office to

Hayes, believing that they would

which lead to show our dependence,
not upon any political party, but
upon those who are our friends.
For instance, in our Spring elec.
ton, while we have a Republican
majority of at least 800, many of our
voters elected to vote the peoples

THE NEGRO AND HIS RELA-

The next presidential election

his usual part. 1t will be well for
him to consider what be is to
gain and how he is to be benefit
Ell. Circumstances have made
him an important factor in the
body-politic, which he must not
lose sight OF, but should consider
wisely and judiciously what he
must do to demand recognition.
1t must be remembered that in
the campaign of "a, the republi-
can party endeavored to carry the
election without the aid OF the
Negro, nor was he consulted on
any question pertaining to the
success OF the party or the well
fare of his race. The republican
party was defeated and God in
his infinite judgement allowed
that party to gain power that was
once our enemy. 10 some extent
the democratic party has been very
liberal to the Negro, but not suffic-
iently liberal enough for him to
throw up his hat and declare soul
and body for the continuance OF
that party in power. We find
no fault with President Cleveland.
but, we do find fault with quite a
number of those who compose the
democratic party.
Notwithstanding the fact, that
we have failed to receive all we
have merited, we are of the opln-

the Negro to think and act for him.

Editor Of The Bee
Realizing for many years the DO
sitlon taken by your paper in be.
half of the colored race, and fully
approaching your untiring efforts
in behalf OF education, equal rights,
and unquestioned equality; we
ventue to contribute few facts
which have presented themselves
to some of your admirers i'll this
village.
We are glad to say, that part
from any selfish considerations,
many of us hail each issue of the
BEE as an omen of glad tidings.
We have very carefully watched
the course of its editor, and we are
not backward in saying that, it
has furnished for our anxious
minds a full channel of thought
anu food. A writer has said that
to be learned man in any profess
sion whatever, three things are
necessary, nature, study and prac-
ticy. Hence we look to you, to
correct our many errors, and to
map out some plan by which the
colored race, under the direction of
Heaven. may assume their proper
ranks in the estimation of the
world.
Here in our village we have
many who would do honor and
credit to our race as representa-
tives, but we regret to say that
there are so many who are actuat-
ed by selfish purposes and impure
motives, that we would hesitate
long and we'll, before committing
ourselves to any policy, from which
the Negro would derive no benefit.
Already in our county an effort is
being made, to elevate while
men to the different electoral posi-
tions, which will occur in Novem-
ber, and to pass the Negro silently
by, only saying to him, come and
help us, we are your friends. Have
we not listened to this same voice
since emancipation? Have we not
watched we'll and waited long for
the dawning of that Era when the
much professed friendship would be
proven?
TO our surprise, we are yet in
the same position, incompetent to
ask, afraid to demand. 1t seems
to us that there might be a way
devised through your fertile braiu
by which the Negro of the different
states might assert his manhood,
though modestly, yet manfuully.
Some have advocated the calling
ola colored convention. Others
have declared themselves in favor
of an address to the colored people
of the state, defining their position
in the coming election. But we think,
and are assured that you will a.
gree with us, that it is the individu.
al right of each citizen, white or
black to vote as will best promote
his interest. We have grown tired Of
the "Race Martyrs, as they so style
themselves, and have concluded
that it is our duty, as well as our
province to shape our political des-
tiny. Ever mindful of .the fact
that "God helps him who helps
himself" There are many things
which :. have recently happened,
